Jane passed away this afternoon.
She looked so peaceful after months of so much pain. I just wanted to take her home and care for her all over again. People say that I was so good to care for her the way I did but I loved her so much it was an absolute pleasure. I would do the same again tomorrow if I had the chance, now all I have left are memories. There is a huge void left which I am not going to be able to fill. She was my life, in sickness and in health and I will miss her with all my heart.
Rest in peace Jane.

About Me
- Jane Thompson
- Hi my name is Jane, I'm 40-something years old and I have just been diagnosed with Kidney Cancer. This Blog is mainly for my benefit, not to be self pitying or self indulgent but because I find it really helps, it’s a kind of therapy for me.

Rest in peace, Jane. Your pain and suffering is over, all that remains is the memory of your valiant battle with that horrible disease. You knew how it would end, yet battled on to the last moment. Jane, you are a luminous example to all who are fighting cancer, or who care for those that care for cancer sufferers. And Martin, you rank alongside Jane for the same reason and at the same level. In sickness and in health, as you so rightly state.
Jane, you won't be forgotten.
Martin, well done.
Yours,

My deepest condolences to you Martin and your family. I am very saddened to hear of Jane's passing, but I know now she is finally at rest.
Her legacy of inspiration, courage and determination will live on in the hearts of all of us.
Your memories will get you through.
God Bless Everyone!

I´m so sorry , and can you believe surprised, Jane was such a fighter , but ofcourse you can only fight so much and she definately fought a great battle to the end. All my sympathy goes out to you and your children, her greatest achievement. I hope you all find comfort in eachother at this sad time. Love Denise.
I only ever knew you on the Internet Jane, but I could tell that you were a truly lovely person. G*d will keep you now, in a much nicer place where there is no more pain. Blessings to Martin and the children, you will be in our prayers tonight.

i am in tears.rest in peace jane.always remembered.love mort xxx
God Bless you all Martin find comfort in your family the one you and Jane made together and live on for her with love and memories in your heart.x
Dear Martin, I am so so sorry.
you do not know me.. i have no connection to you other than i have been following this blog for a few months... after having lost my father to RCC in January i sought out comfort in knowing that there were still others out there.. fighting the good fight...
today i find myself reading this entry and reminiscing over others.. and crying.. for you.. and for a strong woman i never had the pleasure of meeting...
but what a beautiful testament to her.. and to you.. and to the fight.. that this blog has been able to touch people in unbelievable ways... it proves..what an amazing woman she was.. what fight.. what want for life... what a wonderment she will always be..
prayers with you,
Ana Marie
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm praying for strengthen & comfort for you & your family.
Rest in peace Jane, your suffering is at an end, but reading your blog it sounds like your family gave you the best of the last few years possible.
A huge hug to all your family at this sad time and well done to you all for staying so strong through everything.

Sorry seems such an insignificant word to use for the loss of a great fighter whose memory will last for ever. Jane was such an inspiration to me in my own fight against cancer I really am at a loss for words to say more.

I had so much to say to Jane, so i have left her a letter on my blog. I will never ever forget Jane's Journey. May she Rest In Peace now. Love Pam.xxxx

I KNOW I'M 3000 MILES AWAY BUT I AM JUST A KEYBOARD AWAY...

heartbroken - that's how I feel - Jane was such an awesome inspiration for me in the past 20 months since my own RCC diagnosis - she truly gave me such strength & optimism and helped me understand how to live the moment fully. i feel so honoured to have known her from afar. And Martin, I feel so crushed for you and the children - you all must know what an amazing woman Jane was, how much she helped so many of us world wide - be very very proud of your wife/Mum - she was an awesome person and was well loved by many who never had the pleasure of meeting her face-to-face.
I send you all hugs from across the pond, as I always did to Jane.
Hello Martin,
Thinking for you and your darling Jane.
Love,
Herrad
She will be missed and remembered...forever
My condolences
Dear Martin, I'm so sorry. I've had the pleasure of chatting to Jane online for a number of years and she was a very bright and funny woman who always made my day. Jane's blog tells a similar story to one I'm already sadly familiar with, having shared this journey with a close relative who was the same age as Jane when she lost her life to cancer a few years ago. Jane has helped me more than she could know. Thank you both. Heartfelt condolences to you and your children. XXX
God has a new angel as He has taken Jane home to be with Him. A beautiful, courageous lady who never stopped fighting and never lost her humour. She will be remembered amongst Bloggers. Our thoughts are with you all this this saddest of times. God bless you all.
Rest in peace Jane.
Martin and family, I wanted you to know that I have added your beautiful Jane to our Blogger/AOL journal Memorial Journal. It is a permanent memorial for all those friends we have loved and lost. She will never be forgotten.

Bringing Special Thoughts and Gentle Hugs........
Jane has been an inspiration to me ever since my diagnosis back in October 2007. When I first found her blog back then, I believe she was writing about buying pajamas and her upcoming IL-2 treatment.
I am so honored to have called Jane friend. We never met in person or even talked on the phone. I only knew Jane through her blog and some encouraging emails she sent me.
Jane left her mark on this world. She left a legacy. She showed us how to fight. She showed us how to smile in the face of adversity.
Martin, please know that you and the children are in our prayers. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that Jane will never be forgotten. The kidney cancer community will see to it that her memory lives on in our hearts and that those in the future understand what she had done for the cause.
Our love and thoughts are with you all.

Martin my sincere condolences ~ Jane was such a brave Lady and was an inspiration to us all ~ We will never forget her ~ Ally x
What can I add? Shocked yes, but desperately sorry for you Martin and the family. Doesn't make it any easier, even knowing it was coming does it? If there is any silver lining in this darkest of clouds it is the fact that Jane is out of pain and suffering. Martin be rest assured everyone is thinking of you in support.
I knew Jane via a chat room long before her fight against cancer began. She never changed from 6 years ago up until this weekend. She shared her concerns long before this Blog began and I remember her saying she was going to create one. What a legacy she has left. And for this, all who knew her, even from afar must be thankful.
Rest now Jane, you have earnt it and if you can, look after your family.
This indeed has been a journey of another kind about a courageous lady and I will never forget her.
